Imagine if you will, having a habit that ticks off people, like coming off preachy even if that is not what is in your heart. Now imagine that you are making great effort to 'fix' that so you won't rub anyone the wrong way. Now imagine that every time you inadvertantly use certain 'buzz words' that are frequently associated with preaching, but are also an important part of what you are trying to say, there are flags on the play all over the place. Do you think that would make you feel a bit stifled? That is where I am now at with this matter. I feel like I have to walk on eggs around here and be politically correct to be heard, respected or engaged in dialog. I gave Cynthia back what she gave me with no respect to gender or anything. It was rough in both directions, and I do not excuse myself for that. JC says not to play like that and I consider myself a student of his, so I stand corrected.
Let's proceed from here and see what develops. We all have a common denominator here and it is bigger than all of us. In that we are united and in agreement. No personality tiffs are going to upset that.
Best,
Sanford
